The destructive southern pine beetle has reached New York
Just came across this today and I fear for what would happen if the pine beetle makes it's way into the Adirondacks
ROCKY POINT, N.Y. (AP) The southern pine beetle, which for generations has attacked forests throughout the southeastern United States, is methodically making its way into the Northeast, destroying thousands of trees in New York, New Jersey and elsewhere.
The beetle, which resembles a chocolate sprinkle, is viewed as a threat to all pine species, including pitch pine, the predominant tree found in the 100,000-acre environmentally sensitive Long Island Pine Barrens region. It was first discovered in New York last October, about a decade after it appeared in New Jersey, officials said.
"Whenever you have a new pest enter an area where it's never been, it has the potential for massive outbreaks," said John Wernet, a forester with New York's Department of Environmental Conservation.
The insect also has been found recently in Connecticut, and U.S. Forest Service entomologist Kevin Dodds says traps in Massachusetts and Rhode Island are detecting its presence there. The reasons for its expansion northward have not been determined, but some say a rich supply of pine trees amid rising temperatures is one possibility.
"The only thing that would allow them to move up the coast was the climate," said Lisa Filippi, a biology professor at Hofstra University in Hempstead. "A very slight change in climate can cause a huge change in the life cycle of insects."
Robert Marsh, a natural resource supervisor at the New York DEC, wrote in a recent Long Island Pine Barrens Society newsletter that the beetle feeds under the tree's bark, eventually killing it. Female beetles release a pheromone that leaves a trail for other beetles to follow, causing destruction throughout a forest.
He said younger healthy trees can fend off an attack by releasing a resin. "While it is native to the southern United States, SPB has recently been expanding its range northward due in part to climate change," Marsh wrote.
Because it has been a problem in the Southeast for at least a century, Dodds can't estimate how many trees nationwide have been affected. The most effective method to minimize the spread includes cutting infested trees and thinning surrounding forested areas.
Ron Corkory, the southern pine beetle project coordinator for New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection, said it has been a particularly vexing problem for the past five years. He estimated just under 34,000 acres have been damaged. The state has spent "hundreds of thousands" of dollars cutting down trees to fend off the spread.
New York DEC spokesman Peter Constantakes said the state is spending $340,000, including federal grant money, along with "considerable staff hours and resources" to address the issue. Foresters recently conducted an inventory to identify high-priority areas to fight off the beetle. Officials have cut down an estimated 5,000 trees on federal, state and county lands on Long Island since October, according to Wernet, including about 2,500 on state lands including the Pine Barrens.
"This tiny creature is causing massive destruction and the collective fear is that the beetle will dramatically alter the Pine Barrens ecosystem and our barrier islands," said Adrienne Esposito, executive director of the Long Island-based Citizens Campaign for the Environment. "The Pine Barrens ecosystem acts as a natural filter for clean water to seep into the aquifer and replenish our water supply. Severe damage to the Pine Barrens ecosystem may put our water supply at unknown risks."
Richard Amper, who leads the Pine Barrens Society, noted that tens of millions of gallons of pristine drinking water are underneath the region, the sole source of clean water for the majority of Long Island's 3 million residents. Preventative cutting of some vulnerable trees could save the entire forest, and therefore, the aquifer, he said.
"The sooner you cut them down the better," Amper said.

More immediate may be this
All our white pines are yellowing.. Damp springs may be the culprit.
Don't know if this is happening in the Adirondacks.

Has anyone experimented with trying to implement OpenGL|ES over OpenVG ?
This is quite the opposite from what is common nowdays: having OpenVG over OpenGL.
Has anyone experimented with trying to implement OpenGL|ES over OpenVG ?
I don't think this is possible for a whole host of reasons. For example:
- not all blending modes from GLES can be implemented on OpenVG.
- It may be difficult for VG to do some of the more advanced GLES lighting techniques.
- VG has not way of doing Texture combiners.
- VG is not required to support dithering.
- VG has no mipmaping.
- Perspective correction is not present on OpenVG for paths (which is what you'd use for rendering triangles presumably)
… and that's just off the top of my head
Theoretically it may be possible to overcome some - maybe even all - of these issues with very clever uses of vguWarpQuadtoQuad, VGImages, alphamasks, pbuffers, image filters and who knows what else - but performance would be terrible. If it's even possible, in the end you'd probably end up having to implement about 1/2 the GLES graphics pipeline in software. Furthermore, it would be a mountain of work to implement with little to show for it at the end.
The main problem is that you would need to do some pretty smart hidden surface removal to overcome the lack of a z-buffer.
However, it seems there will be a new breed of devices, (like Freescale iMX35) which will only have OpenVG HW and not OpenGL.
An OpenGL over OpenVG would allow these devices to display 3D Graphics.
A ES2.0 would almost be impossible… but a ES1.1 would require a lot of software but it could run a lot faster than a pure software implementation…

text: Seeing My Hard Work Pay Off at Farrell's 05/25/2017 Blog category: Testimonials Everyone has their reasons for wanting to create a healthy lifestyle change. It may be by doctor's orders, they may do it for themselves, or maybe they do it for their loved ones. Whatever their reason to start they will not be successful if they are not committed fully to it. It took me a while to commit to a healthy lifestyle change, but my Farrell's family helped me stay committed to my goals through all of their positive encouragement.November of 2014 my husband was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia at the age of 30 and went through a bone marrow transplant in March of that year. My focus became my husband's health and keeping life as normal as possible as I could for our two little girls, who were four and one at the time. I was not focused on my health or taking care of myself. My husband has now been Leukemia-free for two years, however he suffers from a side effect from the bone marrow transplant called Bronchiolitis Obliterans, which is where there is scarring in the small airways of the lungs causing him to struggle with breathing even when just playing with our girls. While going through all the treatments and spending time in the hospital, my mom kept saying to me, "you need to take care of yourself." But of course like any daughter I just kept saying, "I know, I know." But I really did not do anything to take care of myself and kept my focus on other things. I was eating whatever I could grab on the go while running between work, hospital visits, and activities for our daughters. I was stressed all the time and was just trying to make it through each day during this crazy new norm of ours.Then one day it clicked with me and I knew that I needed to take better care of myself. I was not happy about the way I looked; I was avoiding being in pictures and avoided going swimming with my children because I did not like my body in a swimsuit. I was missing out on things in life because I was self-conscious about my body. I also knew that I needed to be healthy to take care of my family; I needed to step up and help with some of the things my husband now struggles with due to his lung issues. I needed to be around and active for my girls. I began to work out on my own by running (I hate to run), doing home workout DVDs and joining a gym where I would work out alone. Nothing was really working for me. I would go to the gym for a week or two and then stop going. I would do a couple of weeks of the at-home workout DVD, but then find an excuse as to why I could not do it. Then I started running on the bike path, I was sticking with it for a while, but I was not finding the results I wanted. I needed something that was going to push me. While visiting family in Des Moines over Christmas 2016 my husband's aunt and uncle invited me to go to Farrell's in Altoona. I was a little nervous and not sure what to expect, but they would not accept any of my excuses. I attended a kickboxing class with them and I loved it. I may have been slower than some others but it did not matter, I got an awesome workout in and felt great afterwards. The next morning I got up and went to a strength training class. Afterwards my muscles were sore, but it was a good sore. I knew that I had done something great with my body. After the kickboxing and strength training workouts in Altoona I was in love and knew it was something I wanted to keep doing, it was something I needed to do.Bettendorf Farrell's had just opened, and with some encouragement from my aunts I joined their first 10-week challenge. I was both excited and nervous to start this journey, and not really sure what to expect. My first goal was to just keep going and stay with it for the 10 weeks. After the first week I was proud of myself for keeping up with both the kickboxing and strength training workouts and the nutrition plan. I felt myself getting stronger and not getting tired as quickly. But most of all I was having fun working out. My 5 am group was more than I could have asked for in a group of people to work out with. We motivate each other and hold each other accountable. This was the push I needed to help me achieve my fitness goals. One thing that stuck with me through my 10 weeks and continues to stay with me today is what my coach, Pete, said to us on the first day. He kept telling us that it's not about a number on the scale, it's about our overall health. While I am losing fat I am also gaining muscles and the scale does not show all the hard work you have been putting in. After the 10-week challenge I was happy about my results. I had lost weight, lost inches and gained muscle, but most importantly I gained confidence in myself. I know that I can handle anything Pete throws at me during class and I can put my best effort towards it. I also feel confident in my body. I am still working towards some of my personal goals, but I am happy with the results I have seen so far, and I can say I am proud of myself for how far I have come. Joining Farrell's was one of the best choices I have made. I am changing my overall health and modeling a healthy lifestyle for my daughters. I am now a FIT member and I cannot wait to see where the next year takes me and I hope that I can help encourage others to make this positive lifestyle change.

IOTO, Japan (AP) — Iwo Jima is a training site like no other. The rugged volcanic crag was one of the most iconic battlegrounds of World War II, and is so isolated and barren it has almost never been inhabited by anyone other than military troops. But from the perspective of U.S. Navy fighter pilots who regularly train on the island's one functioning airstrip, it is unique in another way.
If a plane finds itself in serious trouble and for some reason that lone airstrip on the island isn't viable, the only alternative is to eject and ditch in the Pacific. It's a problem that the U.S. Navy, which is now conducting training on the island to prepare pilots for deployment to the USS George Washington aircraft carrier, has been trying to fix for nearly 25 years.
But, so far, Japan has failed to find a more suitable site.
Briefing reporters on the tiny island Friday, Capt. Dennis Mikeska, the assistant chief of staff for operations, planning and operations for the U.S. Naval Forces, Japan, said Iwo Jima is the only place in the world where the Navy conducts crucial carrier landing practice without an emergency "divert" — an alternate location where a plane can go in an emergency.
He said the Navy hasn't lost a plane on Iwo Jima yet, but added, "That's not to say there haven't been any close calls."
Mikeska was quick to note that although the site is not so critically dangerous as to be unusable, it does not meet Navy safety standards and must be replaced as soon as possible.
Japan is responsible for providing locations for all U.S. bases within Japanese territory that both countries agree are necessary. The Navy's plea has run up against the classic dilemma that faces all U.S. forces in Japan. Though the Japanese government is one of Washington's staunchest and most reliable allies, it is virtually impossible to find a city, town or village that will quietly accept having U.S. troops based near it.
The not-in-my-backyard problem is most intense on the island of Okinawa, where about half of the 50,000 U.S. troops in Japan are based. Plans to simply deploy the Marine Corps' new transport aircraft, the MV-22 Osprey, have sent tens of thousands of Okinawans to the streets in protest.
This week, the mere suggestion by the mayor of Japan's second-largest city that the U.S. should use a small suburban airfield there was met with an immediate outcry, and has become a national debate.
For the Japanese leadership — who are rarely willing to risk such controversy — Iwo Jima is the perfect place to put the noisy U.S. fighters.
Now officially called Ioto in Japan, the island is inhabited full time only by a few hundred Japanese troops. It is about 750 miles (1,200 kilometers) south of Naval Air Facility Atsugi, the base on Japan's main island where the George Washington aircraft carrier's air wing — the units that train on Iwo Jima — is stationed when not at sea.
Local anger over the noise and dangers of a crash are what drove the wing to Iwo Jima to begin with.
With little other choice, the Navy has been using the Iwo Jima facility for carrier landing practice since 1989, when the two governments agreed to move such operations there "on an interim basis" in response to the noise complaints, and costly lawsuits, from Atsugi residents.
Carrier-based fighter pilots need to train intensely and are required to take qualification tests before deploying to sea. The strip on Iwo Jima has a mock-up of an aircraft carrier's deck. Veteran pilots stand nearby as the fighters approach, both to guide them in and to grade each landing.
Iwo Jima has its advantages. Because there is no local population to worry about, fighters can fly at low altitudes and at all hours of the night. But according to the Navy, the nearest place a pilot can "divert," or make an emergency landing, is 600 miles (960 kilometers) away, or about six times farther than the 100 miles (160 kilometers) that is considered safe.
"We need a special waiver every time we train out there," said Jon Nylander, a spokesman for the U.S. Navy in Japan. "Moving it is a high priority for us."
Tokyo has acknowledged Iwo Jima is only a temporary solution.
Japan has suggested the Iwo Jima flight training be conducted on Mageshima, an island in Japan's southwest where Tokyo plans to build a military base to bolster its southern defenses and its preparedness for natural disasters. Mageshima was officially named a candidate in 2004 in a meeting between the U.S. and Japanese foreign and defense ministers.
Mageshima would provide access to alternative landing sites, and would also be closer to the home base of the air wing when it moves to Iwakuni, about 250 miles (400 kilometers) away. That move was scheduled for 2014, but has also stalled.
No progress has been announced on moving to that island, however.
Mikeska said Mageshima is still officially a candidate site, but no firm plans have been agreed upon.

As the college football world mourns the passing of Navy slotback Will McKamey, word is out of another college football player battling a scary brain-related medical issue. Nevada redshirt freshman wide receiver Tucker Melcher is being treated at Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nevada for an infection in his brain.
"There's brain swelling," Bubba Melcher, Tucker's father, said in a report by USA Today. "It's a waiting game… The next three days are pretty hit and miss. Nobody knows how it happened."
According to the report, Melcher is hooked up to a ventilator to prevent aspiration while being diagnosed for paralysis in the left arm and leg. Doctors reportedly believe the paralysis is temporary.
"It's happened before to young kids like this and they come out of it," Bubba said. "With the complications, it's a guessing game."
A dangerous game, for sure. Nevada head coach Brian Polian released a statement extending thoughts to Melcher and his family.
"We have been aware of the situation since Saturday and have been in constant communication with his family," Polian's statement says. "I have been with Tucker over the last couple of days, as have many other members of our staff and team. The physical and mental toughness that Tucker has shown through this has been inspiring and will no doubt help him further as he continues to recover. The thoughts and prayers of our program are with the Melcher family right now."
On Tuesday Navy's McKamey passed away while in a coma just days after collapsing on the practice field. McKamey had previously been treated for a brain injury in high school.

FEH 08 Brake Problems?
Hi! My husband and I are close to buying an 08 FEH, however we have just become aware of some brake issues on the FEH. We have read of others having complete brake failure, even one organization whose fleet of 30 FEH's was pulled when 7 of them had brake problems. Anyone familiar with this and able to give us some advice. We are so close to buying, however reliability and safety are important to us and our family. I'd appreciate ANY help!


text: To me, the best option is to store emergency food. How much? If you have none, store enough for a few days. If you have enough for a few days, get enough for a week. How much you store depends on what time frame you think you're at risk for having to be completely independent. The early settlers of the southwest liked to store enough food for a whole year and still do to this day!

I am trying to link words that show up anywhere on the website to go to a pre-defined internal url.
In the post editor the author is able to choose a product from a drop-down menu using custom fields to add to the post. Client-side, all the products chosen display inline separated by a comma. There is no limit to the amount of products that can be listed, and those names include hyphens and/or slashes. Example: AWESOME-2000 or RAD3/45
I have tried a variety of automatic linking plugins (such as ultimate seo and seo smart links) and all fall short in either being able to handle special characters in the term or they don't link anything in custom fields.
Does anyone have a suggestion of what else to try? I'm even willing to try adding a hook from functions.php to swap terms from a pre-define list, but I don't author php yet so have no idea where to start on that front (hence looking for plugin).

Senator's son asks police to suspend beating investigation
Contradictory stories emerge in Kedzie case
WHITEWATER, Wis. — The son of Republican State Sen. Neal Kedzie is asking Whitewater police to suspend their investigation into an attack last October.
Sean Kedzie was allegedly attacked in his front yard Oct. 19. He told police he was attacked around bar time by two men who were stealing a Mitt Romney for president sign from his yard.
He told police he knew who one of his attackers was, but investigators said they were unable to turn up any evidence during the questioning of the suspected attacker and witnesses.
According to police documents, Kedzie told police his attackers used expletives towards Romney and said "Go Obama" during the attack.
But a neighbor who said he saw and heard the whole incident told police he heard no one say anything political or even the names of presidential candidates, according to the documents.
The witness told police he heard one of the attackers say something along the lines of, "You shouldn't have picked a fight with two guys."17726794
Kedzie said that neighbor was far enough away that it was unlikely he heard everything in the fight.
Kedzie asked police last Tuesday to suspend the investigation.
Kedzie said Monday that he stands by his story 100 percent and believes the attack was politically motivated.
But he acknowledged there's not enough evidence for police to pursue who he believes is one of his attackers.
"The evidence was kind of in his favor so there just really wasn't a solid case to be built anywhere," Kedzie said. "(The police are) not closing the case but, for now, until there's something else to pursue, they can't really go anywhere with it."
Kedzie said the case can be re-opened if more evidence comes forward or if he asks police to re-open the case.

Rolling Stone asked their readers to name the worst songs of the '90s and 'Barbie Girl,' Danish group Aqua's infectious techno-pop take on Mattel's iconic doll, took first place.
Following 'Barbie Girl' on the worst-of-the-'90s list were two songs that inspired brief dance crazes: 'Macarena' by Los Del Rio, and then 'Achy Breaky Heart,' by Billy Ray Cyrus (pop of Miley Cyrus.
The top ten list is dominated by novelty songs, such as Right Said Fred's 'I'm Too Sexy,' but a couple of serious efforts made the cut, like Celine Dion's Titanic of a hit 'My Heart Must Go On' and 4 Non Blondes' 'What's Up?'
In a masochistic mood? Listen to all the worst songs of the '90s in order of suckiness below:
1. 'Barbie Girl' – Aqua
2. 'Macarena' – Los Del Rio
3.'Achy Breaky Heart' – Billy Ray Cyrus
4. 'Ice Ice Baby' – Vanilla Ice
5. 'Tubthumping' – Chumbawumba
6. 'MmmBop' – Hanson
7. 'My Heart Will Go On' – Celine Dion
8. 'Who Lets the Dogs Out?' – Baha Men
9. 'I'm Too Sexy' – Right Said Fred
10. 'What's Up?' – 4 Non Blondes

Jim Flora For Sale
How did I miss this one? I simply LOVE Jim Flora. His work encapsulated the wit and whimsy of jazz, his syncopated imagery gracing many an album cover during the 40's and 50's. He eventually went on to illustrate for children's books and even got on a ship and oceanliner jag, but during his later years (during the 1980's and 90's - he died in 1998) he found himself coming back to that same illustrated wildstyle that was evident in his earlier works, with a nice twist.
His son, Joel (an artist as well), has set up a site where the public can buy these wonderfully delightful later paintings, most of which no one outside of family has ever seen. This is quite a sight/site to see. I highly recommend checking it out. I just wish that I had enough money to purchase one of these fun and colorful paintings, but ah - you know how that goes.
Already with a site filled with Flora's Columbia heyday work, along with a book by Irwin Chusid filled with the same and more, it's nice to see this once overlooked and underappreciated artist get noticed finally.

These are some great links! I really dig Jim Flora's stuff too... though I didn't (until now) know that much about him. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Fantastic - amazing artwork so full of life and movement! Thanks for pointing us to the book/site.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous stuff! The whole retro thing is a big inspiration to my own books...in case you are interested you can see a bit at:ReplyDelete
The design and the integrity of these old illustrations is incredible. the don't make 'em like they used to...

We've all asked questions about exactly how the courtside seats on Madison Square Garden's Celebrity Row get doled out. Is there a ranking system that determines which celebrities get the best seats? Do those rich people even have to pay for their seats? Thankfully, The New York Times has provided some answers.
The paper provides a behind-the-scenes look at MSG's celebrity culture as well as some delightfully gossip-y anecdotes. (Did you know that Woody Allen is banned from hanging out in MSG's special celebrity suite?) Most importantly, The Times sheds some light on how tickets get distributed, and it's a much more complicated process than you might think:
The Garden, it turns out, has an ad-hoc celebrity-handling team whose members determine who in fact counts as a celebrity and to what degree; pursue relationships with those people (or their representatives); and deflect demands from lower-level personalities who wish they were celebrities but in fact are not. On game nights, the team also has to contend with such tricky questions as, is Katie Holmes more important than Liam Neeson? And, when you have two rappers with the same last name — Mike D. from the Beastie Boys and Chuck D. from Public Enemy — should you seat them near each other?
At the recent Knicks-Heat game, the answers could be found, as is so often the case, on an Excel spreadsheet. Entitled "VIP Locations" and organized according to some mysterious proprietary formula, it mapped out exactly who would sit where — John McEnroe in the third row, the boxer Miguel Cotto in the fifth row, a gaggle of New York Rangers in the 17th row — and it reflected various unspoken rules of V.I.P. placement.
Mysterious proprietary formula! I'd pay damn good money to see the construction of that formula. Speaking of which, if you happen to be an MSG employee who has access to that information, maybe you should consider sending it to your friends at Deadspin dot com?
The other revelation from The Times piece is that the celebrities who sit courtside don't have to pay for their seats. They are expected, however, to trade on their fame. In return for tickets, celebrities agree to appear do in-game interviews, appear in promotional spots for MSG, and attend corporate parties, among other things.
Now go read the whole thing, so you can find out what Woody Allen did you make the MSG bosses so mad.

The two companies are planning to establish what they say is the first helicopter hub in Italy at Rome's Urbe Airport and to have that hub achieve operational readiness in 2009.
According AgustaWestland, the project's investment is worth about €3.2 million ($5 million). The companies plan to set up a 22,000-sq-ft maintenance hangar and will offer a hospitality facility of more than 3,200 sq ft. The facility also is to include about a 2,600-sq-ft office building for the management of passenger transport and corporate helicopter services.
Representatives from AgustaWestland and Alitalica together with aviation sector dignitaries attended a ceremony for the signing of the companies' agreement at Circolo Canottieri Aniene in Rome late April.
AgustaWestland and Alitalica, by joining their expertise in the helicopter field, will collaborate in marketing AgustaWestland helicopters and developing the VIP/corporate helicopter market in Rome and southern Italy.
In a related development, AgustaWestland recently opened a new business headquarters in Japan. Earlier this year, it opened a headquarters for regional business development in Turkey. The new Japanese facility is intended to help the company provide better service to its growing number of Asian clients.

Federal and state regulations mandate that research involving human participants must be reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is responsible for providing guidance and oversight for the human participant protection program and for helping to maintain compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and policies. The IRB is responsible for the following oversight functions:
- Determine what activities constitute human participant research.
- Review, approve, require modifications in (to secure approval), or disapprove all research activities covered by this policy prior to the commencement of the research.
- Require that information given to participants as part of informed consent is in accordance with appropriate laws, regulations, and standards. The IRB may require that additional information be given to the participants when, in the IRB's judgment, the information would meaningfully add to the protection of the rights and welfare of participants.
- Require documentation of informed consent or waive documentation in accordance with federal and Kentucky laws and regulations. If research activities are being proposed to be conducted in other states and/or countries by Union faculty, staff, and/or students, the research activities will be approved in compliance with the regulations for those specific research locations.
- Notify investigators and the institution in writing of its decision to approve or disapprove the proposed research activity, or of modifications required to secure IRB approval of the research activity. If the IRB decides to disapprove a research activity, it shall include in its written notification a statement of the reasons for its decision and give the investigator an opportunity to respond in person or in writing.
- Conduct continuing review of research covered by this policy at intervals appropriate to the degree of risk, but not less than once per year, (unless the research has been classified as "Exempt") and have authority to observe or have a third party observe the consent process and the research.
- Suspend or terminate approval of research that is not being conducted in accordance with the IRB's requirements or that has been associated with unexpected serious harm to participants. Any suspension or termination of approval shall include a statement of the reasons for the IRB's action and shall be reported promptly to the investigator, appropriate institutional official and the department chair .

Like any computer device, printers need additional software to function in Windows. For hardware devices, this software is generally called a driver. By default, Windows supports a lot of devices since many drivers are already included in Windows, but many devices still need a separate driver or additional software to operate; for Hewlett-Packard printers, this is also true.
HP printer driver packages include a lot of additional software, and not only the actual driver. This enables printer troubleshooting and offers additional printing functionality that is beyond the default Windows functions. As a result, the installation of HP printer driver software is a little more extensive and complex than other average drivers. Some HP printer driver installation packages are in the hundreds of megabytes!
The problem we are addressing here is when the installation of an HP printer driver fails, resulting in error messages like "driver fatal install", or "fatal error during installation". Further error details can contain file names, error codes, or version mismatches.
You can also see the following errors:
"The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28). To reinstall drivers, click Reinstall Driver."
"Fatal Error 2753 — MSI.dot4wrp"
How to Solve HP Printer Install Errors
In most cases, driver installation errors can be solved by simply reinstalling the software again, sometimes a reboot is required before attempting the installation again.
But in the case of more complex software like HP printer software, a failed installation can cause all subsequent installation attempts to fail. The reason is that a failed installation can leave behind locked files, or registry information, which causes the next installation to fail.
In these cases, the next step is to first uninstall the previous installation, so that a clean system can be used to reinstall the HP driver software. The simplest way to do that is to uninstall the HP printer software from the Control Panel -> Uninstall (or Add/Remove programs) option. The Uninstall a program is found in the Control Panel under Programs -> Programs and Features in Window 7 and later.
In addition you can remove the HP printer in the Devices and Printers section of the Control Panel.
If, however, the HP printer software installation failed in an early stage, the software might not show up in the Control Panel uninstall list. That means the removal of the failed software will not be possible that way. The next thing to try in that case is to use a cleanup utility to fix the corrupted registry. Microsoft used to have the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility for this purpose, but due to conflicts with Office 2007, it was replaced by the Microsoft Fix It solution.
The Fix It solution will clear bad registry keys that can prevent programs from being installed. Keep in mind that it does not actually remove any files from the failed HP driver installation. Those will simply be overwritten by the next installation. Instead of the Microsoft solution you can also try using a program to scan and fix the complete Windows registry, which does not limit itself to installer issues only. You can use such a program to clean all HP entries from your system before attempting the reinstall. We recommend using PC Cleaner for this purpose, you can download the program here.
Note: by Choosing to install PC Cleaner (5.72MB), you consent to it's End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy of the site.
If you are running XP or Vista, it is also possible that that the Windows Installer itself is corrupted. In that case you can simply try to download the Windows installer and reinstall that.
If reinstalling the Windows Installer is not possible, try to re-register it:
– Open a command prompt with administrator rights.
– Type: msiexec /unregister and press Enter.
– After the command completes type: msiexec /register and press Enter again.
For HP Officejet printers, HP used to offer a driver removal utility that could help you remove the HP printer driver for specific models. Unfortunately this utility is no longer available from them.
Other steps that can help:
– Run a disk cleanup to clear out the temp folders, which are used for temporary installation files.
– Stop the HP services using the Manage Computer option to prevent DLL files being locked.
Reinstalling the HP Printer Software
After the install cleanup is finished and the Windows installer is fixed, you need to reinstall the HP Printer driver software. Unplug the HP Printer and reboot before you do this so that Windows does not install any default drivers for the HP device. During installation you can reconnect the printer when the installation process indicates that. Please consider that even for wireless printers you sometimes need to make a physical connection with the PC during the initial installation. Please check the printer manual for details.
If installation still fails, and you are using a USB connection, try using a different USB port, and make sure not to use an external USB hub between the PC and the HP printer.
Lastly, always make sure to use the latest HP driver software, to guarantee that you are not suffering from old versions with possible bugs or limited functionality. To scan your PC for all drivers and find HP updates, use DriverFinder!

Call it "The Upset"
TORONTO — I should've seen this win coming for the New York Giants. On the ride over to Mike Wilner's house to watch Super Bowl XLII, the gummy bear Tom Brady fell over in the stadium cake (pictured right) that Mrs. Bastian made for our party.
While a whole heckuva lot of me wanted to see New England put the finishing touches on a 19-0 season, what an amazing game and victory that was the New York Football Giants (don't you love that they still get called that even though the Baseball Giants left the Big Apple more than 50 years ago?).
The improbable 17-14 win was enough to bring tears to the eyes of Plaxico Burress — a fellow Michigan State Spartan — during a postgame interview. The play that absolutely stunned me was Eli Manning's amazing escape from near sackage followed by a desperation heave to David Tyree on the winning drive. Didn't see it? CLICK HERE.
For me, who was a huge John Elway fan back in the day, the Denver QB's legendary helicopter dive in the Super Bowl win over Green Bay is still one of the greatest plays in the game's history. But that play by Eli in the fourth quarter to save that drive was downright sick. After that, I was more than willing to see Tom Brady and the Pats' shot at a perfect record go down in flames.
The only downside to all of this? Blue Jays bench coach Brian Butterfield might be a bit grouchy this season. Butter is by far the biggest New England fan I've met and he's great for talkin' football. Although, he did threaten me after I razzed him some about SpyGate at the end of the season and I still don't know if he was kidding or not. I'm pretty sure he was kidding…
Anyway, one thing I miss about watching the Big Game back home in the States is seeing all of the new commercials. So, the Misses and I are gonna watch 'em all online here in a minute (maybe finish off that cake, too). More Blue Jays-type news should be coming Tuesday night, when the club's holding the annual State of the Franchise event in Toronto.
Until then, go Bears.

That is an awesome cake.
I had no preference for a winner but if I had remembered how much Butterfield loved the Patriots , I might have donned a NE cheerleader's outfit , anything to help the Jays.
Mrs B's cake is a work of art , thank you for sharing it with us . Have a great day all
First Santana is out of the American league and now Bedard looks to be headed out of the Al East! All great news for the Jays. Baltimore was looking to become good this year with Tejada and Bedard but since they're both gone, the less competition for us the better. But the Rays have clearly become a descent threat, with Kazmir/Shields/Pena/Japanese guy. They also have been starting to show us that they aren't afraid to spend money. It will be interesting to see how they do this year.
That cake is amazing!!! When will she be making the SkyDome and it's retractible roof???
Not a good day for Butterfield. His team loses ( tough one to take still hours later ) and Burress finds the endzone for the winner. Butterfield a huge Michigan fan, a Spartan with the winner. Big days ahead for Michigan fans. Rodriguez will change that conference with the spread offense.
Keep up the good work Jordan and that cake looks very good. Low 80's in the Dunedin area today, just to let you know.
Not a fan of either team but I wanted to see history. But that play was well worth it too.

The Bassetto in Folk Music
Carl Spitzweg, Spanish stand (1867)
It was widely used even into the 20th century, particularly in the Bohemian-Austrian area.
Again, the size, the shape, and the number of strings were very varied: the Czech bassett researcher Ludvik Kunz names twelve different tunings for the four-string version alone. The bassett was often used at musical open air occasions such as folk

Launching Your First Blog: The "How To" Guide
Disclosure: Your support helps keep the site running! We earn a referral fee for some of the services we recommend on this page. Learn more
So you want to start your first blog, and you want to do it fast. This guide will show you how. You'll learn how to choose a cheap web hosting account, grab your dream domain and get WordPress up and running in an hour.
It's fast and easy, and you'll enjoy having complete control over your own WordPress blog.
Step 1. Get Cheap Hosting
WordPress itself is completely free. To create a website using WordPress, you need a web hosting account. Your web host stores the WordPress files on their server and ensures your site is available round the clock. All you have to do is choose the right host.
WordPress works great on practically any budget hosting package. Most new users start with a cheap shared hosting package costing a few bucks a month. "Shared" means the web host places multiple clients on the same server, which is an economical way of providing resources for small websites.
Choosing the Best Shared Hosting
The cheapest shared hosting is offered on the Linux platform. Luckily, that's what WordPress runs on too. You don't need to worry about the operating system you're running on your own computer, because Linux hosting can be managed from any computer with an internet connection. Just make sure that your host supports WordPress. We suggest HostGator.
Even though it's called shared hosting, you will be allocated your own server space and resources. Web hosts are committed to ensuring it's secure. Shared hosting is often marketed as "unlimited," but the host will still expect your usage to be within certain limits.
Check that your hosting plan allows you to:
- Install WordPress (It's hard to find one that doesn't!)
- Set up email accounts linked to your domain
- Access your files via FTP software (Like Panic Transmit)
- Move away without penalty, or upgrade, if you outgrow the hosting plan
HostGator is a good example of a cheap host that's built to run WordPress. It offers all of the features you'll likely need: email accounts, forwarding, FTP and more for $3.40/mo. There's no need to sign up for a long-term contract, and there's plenty of WordPress help for new customers in the Help Center.
Choosing a Great Domain Name
You'll also need to buy a domain name for your website. This is the URL your visitors type in to visit your site. (Our domain name is WhoIsHostingThis.com.)
Choosing the right domain name can be a challenge, mostly because many of the good ones are long gone!
We suggest you:
- Go for a short, snappy word — or your name, if it's a personal site. Does it pass the radio test?
- Avoid domains with lots of keywords, and don't use hyphens in the domain name.
- Aim for a .com, or a localized domain, like .co.uk.
- Check that your domain isn't a registered trademark.
- Use KnowEm.com to check availability on social media services like Twitter.
The good news: HostGator offer a special low price for domain names for WhoIsHostingThis.com visitors.
If you want to buy more domains, take a look at GoDaddy, the world's most popular domain registrar. However, many webmasters (Including us!) dislike the interface and aggressive upselling.
We use Uniregistry. The interface is super-simple to use, and they have many of the new GTLDs domains (like .ninja or .rocks) cheaper than anybody else. Best of all: there's no constant upsells!
If you find the domain you want has already been registered, you may still be able to buy it. In fact, we did just that with this domain, WhoIsHostingThis.com!
Domain marketplaces sell "aftermarket" domains from $50 right up to many millions of dollars. The most popular domain marketplace is Sedo, who we've bought and sold many dozens of domains with over the years.
Other major marketplaces for domains include SnapNames and NameJet.
Step 2. Install WordPress
Now you have your shared hosting account, you can install WordPress. There are two ways to do it.
Whichever method you choose, you will be up and running within an hour.
Option A: The Super-Easy Method
Hosting companies like HostGator offer WordPress as a One Click Install. In your web hosting control panel, you simply use a Wizard to install the application on your account. Using the One Click method, your blog will be fully functioning within 10 minutes.
The downside of the One Click Installer is that it's slightly less customizable then the second method we'll show you. If you prefer to learn as you go, keep reading.
Option B: the 5-Minute Method (*Cough*)
The second option is a self-install. WordPress claim that it takes 5 minutes. It's not difficult, but it takes slightly longer than five minutes. (For us, at least!)
You'll have to use this method if your host doesn't offer a One Click Installer. But relax — it's still dead easy.
To install WordPress in 5 minutes:
- Download a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client application. FileZilla and Cyberduck are great.
- In your browser, log in to your hosting control panel and create a new MySQL database. Make a note of the database name, username, and password — including any text before the underscore (which may be added automatically).
- Visit WordPress.org and download the installer zip file.
- Unzip the file on your local computer.
- Connect to your web hosting account using the FTP login your host provided.
- Upload all of the unzipped files to the public_html folder, or the www folder if you don't see public_html.
- Visit your website at the domain name URL.
- Follow the instructions to complete the installation!
At the end of the installation, you'll be asked to log into WordPress to configure the application. Keep reading to find out what tweaks you need to make.
Step 3. WordPress Setup
Now your blog is up and running, it's time to customize the settings so everything works the way you want it to.
But first, a sensible precaution: rename the default user. This makes your blog more secure. In the sidebar, select Users -> Your Profile and change the details to something unique to you.
- First, switch on Permalinks. This setting gives your blog readable URLs that may give your site an SEO boost. Navigate to Settings -> Permalinks, select the Post name option and save. If you want to use a Custom Structure here, be sure to avoid numbers and punctuation, such as underscores.
- Discussion Settings are next. These settings control how comments are handled. If you don't have a blog on your site, you should disable comments completely. If you have a blog, leave Allow people to post comments on new articles. Customize the settings as you prefer.
- Reading Settings tell WordPress how your blog should be displayed. You can choose one of your pages as a static front page, or display your latest blog posts on the home page instead.
- In the Reading settings, you will also see a Search Engine Visibility checkbox. While you're working on your site, you can check this box to hide your blog from search engines. Set yourself a reminder to uncheck this box when you're ready for launch.
- Change the default image storage folder in WordPress. This will make your blog more secure. First, use your FTP software to create a new folder in wp_content called images. Then, in WordPress' Settings section, look for the Miscellaneous page. Under Store uploads in this folder, point WordPress to images, rather than the default, uploads.
Step 4. Choose a WordPress Theme
WordPress is a template system. The website content, such as the blog posts and static pages, are stored in a database. The site layout and color scheme is stored separately in a template.
You can choose any theme from tens of thousands. What's more, you can change templates whenever you like, and make your site look totally different.
Free Themes vs Premium Themes
WordPress developers often distribute free themes. They also create templates that users pay for: premium themes.
So why would anyone buy a theme when there are free options?
Here are a few reasons to go premium:
- Free themes may be used by dozens of websites. Premium themes are less commonly used, so there's less chance of a competitor launching a site that looks exactly the same as yours.
- Developers who distribute free themes don't usually offer extended support. With a premium theme, you will usually have direct contact for the developer.
- Premium themes may include more advanced features and sometimes come bundled with premium plugins.
Our favorite marketplace for premium themes is ThemeForest. They have thousands starting at around $10 — although many of the best themes run $30-$50.
Other popular premium themes you'll see often in the wild are:
It's a matter of personal taste: what looks good to you. If you don't want to spend the extra money, simply try a free theme first and, once your site is bringing in traffic, consider an upgrade to a premium theme.
Customizing Your Theme
WordPress has a built-in theme editor that's What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG). As you edit the theme, the changes are reflected in a real time preview. It's easy to tweak themes to get them how you want them.
In the WordPress admin area, navigate to Appearance, then Customize. The drop-down lists on the left hand side will display the customization options available to you.
The theme editor is designed for small tweaks rather than big layout changes. If you want to customize your theme extensively, you'll need to dive into the code or hire a professional.
Need some help making WordPress do something a little fancier? We use and recommend Elto. It's a marketplace where geeks bid on small projects. For example, "Update my WordPress theme." Or, "Fix my broken WP plugin". Projects start around $30.
Step 5. Add WordPress Plugins
With WordPress plugins, you can further extend your blog's functions until it fits your requirements perfectly. It's easy to install plugins from the WordPress admin area (found at http://yoursite/wp-admin).
We recommend that you install the Plugin Central first. It allows you to quickly install plugins via the official WordPress plugin site.
What other plugins should you install? Here's a few of our favorites:
- Encourage users to subscribe to your newsletter with Aweber and their subscription form. It's really easy. Just setup an account at aweber.com and grab the Aweber plugin.
- Akismet is an awesome spam-catcher that will prevent spam from littering your blog comments. It uses a sophisticated detection method to filter out comment spam for manual review. You need a key to use it, but these are freely available from Akismet.com.
- Yoast SEO is another free plugin, and an essential extension to WordPress. Yoast SEO adds features and fields that give your blog an SEO boost. It makes the whole WordPress application smarter, and helps you to understand how to write more optimized content, titles. and descriptions. Search and install from the Plugins page.
- Make it easy for visitors to email you by adding a contact form. Contact Form 7 is a free, easy to use contact form plugin. Explore it at http://ContactForm7.com.
- W3 Total Cache helps to speed up WordPress by caching some of your most frequently accessed content. It can be installed in seconds through the Plugins page.
- The DiggDigg plugin adds social sharing buttons to every blog post you write. See the buttons on the right of this page? That's the idea.
Looking for a plugin to do something more specific? If the official WordPress.org site can't help, we recommend a site called CodeCanyon.
CodeCanyon has hundreds of specialist WordPress plugins from around $10. You'll find plugins to add anything you can think of, from fancy forms to newsletter tools.
Again, Elto can help you find geeks to undertake small projects.
Step 6. Create Your Blog Content
Now it's time to add content to your new WordPress website. Initially, there are two types of content to write: Posts and Pages.
Here's how to tell them apart:
- A Page is a static page. Examples include your About page, information about your products or services, and your Home page. Pages are designed to be evergreen: they always exist prominently on your website as a "shop front." If you are planning to run a personal site, you may just have one or two static pages
- A Post is a blog post. Blog posts are time stamped, and readers are often invited to comment on them or share them on social media
Work on writing your Pages first so that the site structure and navigation is in place. You can then work on your Posts, building a rolling sequence of updates that are published over time.
How to Blog
There are no strict rules on how to blog, or what to blog about. Your first post can be on any topic that you feel comfortable writing about. However, bear in mind that search engines like to see good quality content. Aim to publish interesting, informative posts that will hook in your readers and get them coming back for more.
Use our blogging tips to guide your first post:
- When structuring the title of a blog post, make sure you include keywords. They will be carried over to the URL that WordPress generates for the post, and both will help with SEO.
- Upload one image using the Featured Image box in the Post composition screen. This image will appear next to the post in WordPress and on some social media websites. Images make blog posts much more engaging.
- Set up at least one category, and ideally two or three. Use tags to describe themes in your blog.
- Use the WordPress editor to add headings to your post. Use Heading 2 primarily; sub headings should be assigned Heading 3, Heading 4 and so on.
- Don't try to trick Google by using excessive keywords in your content. This may have worked in the late 90s, but Google is now much smarter at penalizing sites for it.
- Blogging is exciting, but if you're not much of a writer, it may be difficult to maintain a strict blogging schedule. If you have a budget set aside, hire a professional writer to supplement your blog posts with additional content.
And that's it! Enjoy blogging with WordPress. Don't forget to untick the "Search Engine Visibility" checkbox once your site is ready for its first visitors.

We might be on the verge of the biggest archaeological discovery in art history. A tomb in Florence could hold the remains of the model who sat for Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa some 500 years ago.
There's almost unanimous agreement in the art history community that Leonardo's model was Lisa Gherardini Del Giocondo. She was the wife of a small-time Florentine cloth merchant and local politician who was, rather more importantly, Leonardo's neighbor. She is thought to have sat for the painting in 1502, around when she was pregnant with her second child. However, it wouldn't be until 1519 that anyone actually saw the finished painting, as Leonardo supposedly jealously guarded the painting until his death, taking it with him everywhere and not letting anyone else get their hands on it.
Now a team led by Silvano Vinceti of the National Committee for the Promotion of Historical Heritage, Culture and Environment believes they have found Lisa's final resting place. It wouldn't be their first major find - they have also located the reputed remains of the artist Caravaggio and reconstructed the face of the poet Dante. They've been able to use various 16th century records to track her to a particular crypt below a convent where Lisa is thought to have died, and they just discovered stairs that might well lead down to the tomb.
If they can locate the real Mona Lisa, her bones might be of tremendous use in better understanding Leonardo's painting. Assuming a decent amount of her skull has survived, it would be possible to reconstruct what she actually looked like in a computer simulation. That would offer a whole new way of looking at and appreciating the Mona Lisa, more than 500 years after Leonardo first began painting.

OTTAWA, March 14 (UPI) – As international concerns grow over the Joint Strike Fighter F-35 costs, Boeing is offering Canada a rival warplane that the company says can beat Lockheed Martin on price, performance and operational expense.
"In a dogfight of defense contractors, the hunter can quickly become the hunted. It's happening now to the F-35," CBC News said.
Canada has been at the forefront of controversy over JSF costs, which have been contested by other prospective buyers elsewhere.
Boeing senior executives told CBC the defense manufacturer's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet was "a proven fighter" in contrast to F-35's "paper airplane" and could be available to Canada at half the price tag.
Both Boeing and Lockheed Martin claim superiority of their aircraft in different features but independent analysts see JSF having an edge over Super Hornet in stealth capability. However, Boeing's offer of a cheaper aircraft is aimed at budget conscious procurement agencies in Canada and elsewhere.
Boeing also claims the Super Hornet has "effective stealth."
The Super Hornet sells for about $55 million, half the anticipated cost of an F-35. Industry data indicate as much as 80 percent of the F-35 cost is operations-related, from training and paying for the pilots to maintenance and spares.
Shifting cost estimates for the JSF has helped critics of the Lockheed Martin contender not only in Canada but also in other markets, including Japan which in 2011 chose the F-35 over Boeing's Super Hornet and Eurofighter Typhoon.
Italy and other prospective buyers have also protested JSF costs, cut their orders or announced reviews.
"We know that the Super Hornet has effective stealth and that's really the key," Boeing's vice president in charge of the Super Hornet program told CBC. "We believe we have a more affordable stealth than many other platforms that are being designed specifically and touted as stealthy platforms."
The F-35 was spotlighted in technical troubles in addition to debates over its costs. In February the U.S. Department of Defense suspended flights of all 51 F-35 planes after a routine inspection revealed a crack on a turbine blade in the jet engine of an F-35 test aircraft.
It was the second grounding of the aircraft, central to the Pentagon's $396 billion JSF program.
The program has faced frequent restructuring and is reported at risk of further cutbacks.
The Ottawa Citizen cited critical comment on the F-35 program by Time magazine and Postmedia News in stories carried by Canada.com.
U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Christopher Bogdan, current head of the JSF program, this week announced plans for restructuring to pare down expenditure.
The F-35 program is about seven years behind schedule and estimated to be at least 70 percent more expensive than originally envisaged.
Bogdan said cost cuts were needed to make the JSF more affordable to buyers worldwide and forestall further reductions in orders.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government this week gave a $56,217.50 contract to Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Consulting Inc. to conduct an independent review of costs related to plans to buy a new generation of fighter jets.
Canada plans to purchase 65 F-35s that the government estimates will cost $9 billion to buy and almost $37 billion to operate over the next 42 years. Boeing says it can deliver the same number of Super Hornets at half that cost, including maintenance.
Boeing has also dangled benefits, similar to those offered by Lockheed Martin, for Canadian industries that will be invited to take part in the building and supply of the winning fighter jet and related activities.

Hi Rory, I have an extra pack which I ordered, even though I got the 2nd edition and ultimately didn't need them. I can sent them to you, if shipping is not too expensive. I am living in Europe.
Euphoria is available from retailers everywhere and our online store! Also, this realistic resource pack is made to enhance your copy of Euphoria.
Euphoria is available locally in English, German, French, Russian, Brazilian, and Czech.
Leave a Comment
95 Comments on "Buy"
I'm actually in Canada so it would probably cost a small fortune to ship. Ordered from the website this morning. Thank you for your kind offer though.
Jamey, is it still possible to get the wooden stars for the first ed?
Mark: Could you try VFI? They might have it in stock.
Are malls in the South East Asia preferably in Hong Kong or in the Philippines selling Euphoria?
Is there any way to buy extra copies of the dice?
Some people just don't realize what goes into production. When a new edition comes out there may be changes. Like buying a new car or anything else, You get it and a new model comes out with better bells and whistles. That is just life the way it is
What do you want him to pay to send wooden stars out to everyone who purchased the first edition? Come on man, that's the board game industry. And no one put a knife to your throat demanding that you buy a game. I have been in the same situation, and it sucks. But, what do you expect? ….. Oh , I just realized maybe your upset about the 14 dollar price tag on the wooden stars. That does seem steep.
I'm not upset, I'm "mildly annoyed." And yes, it's about the comparative costs/values to achieve parity between the two printings. I did buy the Treasure Chest to augment my standard edition, 1st printing copy of Euphoria: because I liked the resource bits in the Kickstarter Deluxe edition but missed the Kickstarter (and those were the only two options… early backer or after market). But $14.00 for 60 wooden bits seemed too expensive to me (and now even more so, since purchasers of the 2nd Printing get those $14 worth(?) of bits included in the same price I paid without them). So I'm annoyed because the path to parity isn't fairly priced (or fair, IMO) and I'm sharing my customer feedback on a forum designed for that purpose in the hope that "come on man, that's the board game industry" might not be our experience in the future.
Mildly annoying that the 2nd Printing of Euphoria includes the Wooden Authority Stars that anyone who owns the 1st Printing has to purchase separately for $14.00. And since both printings were offered at the same MSRP, it makes me, as an early customer, feel like I got a bad deal and am aesthetically disadvantaged with my game, compared to latecomers (unless I pay more after the fact to remediate).
Hey Jamey just wondering how much euphoria is, I'm located in the U.S and was looking to get one shipped to me. One more question can I play it right away or are there expansion packs i would need for 4 or 5 players. Thanks again.
Is there anywhere to find a list of retailers which will have the second printing of Euphoria available in the US?
My pals and I are hosting San Antonio's TableTop day. Do you know if Euphoria will be available before April 11? We want to demo it as our featured Euro (we've already got a Treasure Chest).
Just received my copy of Euphoria second edition. It is gorgeous! Thank You! I really wanted to thank you for including extra plastic baggies. That is one of the most thoughtful things I've ever seen in a board game. Little things like that mean a lot! Thnaks so much!
Hi Jamey, will you be able to courier a game to Asia? And how much would it cost?
Sorry, meant Malaysia :)
any updates on the shipping of the signed copies of the game that were going to ship in jan? thanks!

Do you know how long the premium Game Trays will available? If I just buy a normal version of the game now, will I have the option in a few months to still buy a Game Tray for it, if I wish?
Is it still possible to get the wooden authority stars somewhere? I had to get Euphoria without them and I backed the Treasure Chest (Can't WAIT!!! :) ) And I should have added the stars, but at the time, I hadn't played it yet. Now, of course, I am coveting those beautiful little stars :)

Hey Jamey,
Any update on the distribution status of Euphoria? I've been reaching out to my local game stores and none have received any update on the second printing.
Hi Jamey, I would love to get hold of a copy of Euphoria and also don't have a local games store. Being able to buy one direct from you would be brilliant I do hope you make this possible. thanks
Cool, thank you
Is the second printing any different from the first besides the different languages? Also, are you still on track from the release of second edition to be in november?
Is there a way I could pre-order euphoria online? I don't have any board game stores locally
I read somewhere that a French version of the game was being done, with a release due for this Summer. How is it going? Is it still in production? I look forward to playing it in my language si I can bring it to more friends!
Thank you Jamey for the quick reply. My gaming group got really excited about the game, after listening to The Secret Cabal and the Pegs. Can you tell us the name of your european production partner?
Allt the best, Martin

Hi James! What about the new upgraded materials for who has bounght the retail version of the game you talked about some months ago? When will they be ready?
